“During yesterday’s broadcast, I made a mistake while attempting to be humorous. It was not my intention to offend anyone. My daughter passionately marches in support of the #MeToo movement in Boston, and I support her in every way. I offer my sincerest apologies to those who may have been offended.”

#MeToo is a movement aimed at raising awareness regarding the ubiquity of sexual assault and harassment. The movement started after Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual assault by a number of women. Since then, many women have used the hashtag to share similar stories.
